Reggie Bautista Technicolor Terror Maru For those who wish to provide future gleaners-of-tornado-ravaged-houses with multicolored marshmallows, stock your home with Peeps For All Seasons: http://www.marshmallowpeeps.com/index.html Did you know that Peeps have participated in atmospheric research? Here is the NASA site: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2000/ast01apr_1m.htm ...However, one fascinating and tragic aspect of the story was not announced until now. The April 11 flight included five brave passengers -- intrepid explorers who never returned. Where they went, and how, remains a mystery. Stowed away on the weather balloon sent aloft in April 1999 were five tiny Peeps. How they got there is controversial. Most of his colleagues think they were smuggled on board by Bryan Walls, an irreverent member of the launch team. However it happened, one thing is clear -- these Peeps were not purchased with tax dollars and NASA does not endorse these brightly colored sweet treats!...

Julia Thompson wrote: First rule of trolling: One Post. Second rule: Never respond. If you actively respond, then you are spamming. Hell no. Some of the best trolling is *developing* a running battle between participants and this can be done best by steering the argument in certain directions rather than smashing it there in one hit. Brevity and conciseness, yes - single strike, not necessarily. (Erik strikes me as someone *capable* of doing this well (though not necessarily inclined to do so) by gradually winding up the tempo rather than a single stir...)
